Submarine Matters

I publish on subs, other military/naval, nuclear weapons & political issues. Aussie sub changes are slow: talk since 2009 rather than new subs. The Collins LOTE 2028-2040 might help Australia's sub availability temporarily. UUVs help. POTUS 2031 may cancel AUKUS Virginias due to USN advice it needs all its SSNs through to the 2040s. US has sacrificed Virginia production pace in favour of Columbia SSBN production. Shawn & Gessler are excellent contributors.
